The organiser of the Singapore Grand Prix has admitted it needs to increase security for next year\u2019s event after a British national invaded the track during the Formula One race.<\/p>\n

Yogvitam Pravin Dhokia scaled a 1.1-metre fence and wandered through a designated opening, an access point through which marshals can attend to drivers in trouble, before wandering down the circuit towards the 200mph F1 cars, apparently intent on crossing the track.<\/p>\n

It was a PR disaster for Formula One and the race organisers, as motorsport is exceptionally dangerous, and the spectator\u2019s actions put the drivers\u2019 lives at risk.<\/p>\n

The organisers have analysed the incident and have come up with a simple answer to ensure that the crowd does not have access to the track: bigger fences.<\/p>\n

“In the affected area where the intrusion occurred, the organiser is considering plans for the installation of higher spectator<\/a> fences,\u201d read a statement.<\/p>\n

\u201cA substantial increase in the number of marshals in attendance at the event<\/a> is also being evaluated. These marshals would work hand-in-hand with the security personnel in spectator<\/a> areas.”<\/p>\n

While the 1.1-metre fence is the same specification<\/a> as the fencing used at other Grands Prix, clearly, this relies on the fans\u2019 goodwill as it simply is not an effective barrier to keep a determined track invader at bay. Over the years, there have been several incidents where spectators<\/a> have joined the action on track, and F1 might use this as an opportunity to evaluate the fences at every circuit.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a massive undertaking, completely fencing off circuits that are several miles long, but if it isn\u2019t done, then it is surely only a matter of time before a tragedy occurs. Formula One could, and should, install anti-climb<\/a> fencing around the whole perimeter of the track to prevent unauthorised access to the circuit itself.<\/p>\n

This fan was apprehended and has now been charged by Singapore police. Still, it\u2019s an incident that could have ended very differently, and the simple introduction of proper perimeter fencing<\/a> would have been a much safer bet.<\/p>\n
